This is what the DM is there to adjucate.Well, my answer to these questions are as follows:1) No, you cannot prepare two "set to receive charge" actions. Even with two weapons. The ready action ONLY permits a single partial action to be readied.Note the singular partial action described in the second paragraph.I feel fairly confident that readying an action is such a passive state, that I would even remove the chacacter's additional partial action (due to haste), if she didn't take it before readying the action. As haste's extra partial action is assumes an active character, using his full alotment of time, not one that stands around waiting for the opposition to make the first move. (Note that the character may still take the partial action from haste BEFORE readying a partial action.)However, should this be a problem for you or your players (removing the possibility of gaining your extra partial action due haste from inactivity, You could instead allow the extra partial action from haste AFTER the readied action:And as he has already used the "set weapon", rule that it is no longer set. As the charge-attack sequence is motion of events, not a start-stop affair, It is too late to "ready" another action (as the action which would trigger it has already occured, or the first "readied" action would never have triggered!Thus, they would by this reasoning, still gain a second partial action, and could even attack the charger, but not get a second "set to receive charge" bonus.2) Having a single or two weapons makes no difference as you can only make a single attack with a partial action.The DM is there to reinforce logic and common sense in the game, his rulings are supposed to hinder and prevent runaway rules lawyers, who blatantly ignore rhyme and reason.I think I have shown that by the rules, there is a strong argument against setting a weapon (or two) vs a charge, and gaining two attacks, irregardless of haste. YMMV. Sorry, this got a lot longer than I intended...</blockquote>
